Ultramarine blue and Air Force yellow are the Air Force's official colors. Blue alludes to the sky, the primary theater of Air Force operations. Yellow refers to the sun and excellence required of Air Force personnel. The tricolor bend suggests the colors of the flag of the United States and reflects the patriotism of the wing's personnel. The flight symbol issuing from the globe denotes the worldwide capabilities of the unit in support of combat engagements. The tiger's face symbolizes the wing's aggressive spirit and reflects its heritage and honorable service in Vietnam.
